In this period of uncertainty, CinemaBlend has picked up a small but intriguing story. In an interview with production designer Neil Lamont, the site learned that one of Lucasfilm’s “upcoming-but-stopped” projects was set to feature Tatooine.

Lamont stated:

“We were just starting our work on another Star Wars spin-off and yeah. We were actually just making our mark on Tatooine — which would have been interesting and some other new galaxies. So hopefully, if that comes back, we’ll get the chance to be able to do that further.“

While it’s technically possible that this could have been James Mangold’s short-lived untitled Boba Fett film, I think we can all safely agree that this project was more than likely the Obi-Wan Kenobi spinoff. After all, there is a nineteen year long gap in Kenobi’s life between the end of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, where he lived as a hermit on Tatooine and watched Luke Skywalker grow up from afar.

Revenge of the Fans is a nerd-leaning news, analysis, and enjoyment project. The site was started in early 2018, in the dark days before anyone on the Internet had anything to say about comic book movies or pop culture. The site was the idea of Mario Francisco Robles, a man with his finger on the pulse of the comic book movie industry, and Jon, a person who we aren’t completely sure isn’t a figment of Mario’s imagination.
